cation OF E. F. Drake and A. H. Wider,
acting as trustees for certain holders of
bonds secured by mortgage OF the lands
granted to the State of Iowa to aid in the
construction OF the Sioux City & st. Paul
railroad, made against the order of July
26, 1887, throwing 26.Ul6 acres open to
settlement. These are the lands in O. Brien
and other counties of Iowa which, having
once been patented to the state and un-
earned by the road, where by. direction of
the legislature certified by the governor
back to the government. accepted by it
and thrown open as above stated. The
protestants based their protests and re-
quests for revocation upon the theory
that the action of the government was
in effect forfeiture. which is a
light resting, not with the department. but
with congress-, which made the grant. The
secretary holds that these lands had been
granted as indemnity, and as the road in
question had no reason for indemnity

The State OF Iowa recognized that the
lands had been inadvertently patented toit,
and returned to them. They had been
conveyed to it without any authority I'M
der the granting act and having been con-
veyed. the department. could do nothing
but throw them open to settlement The
lands not being granted lands. this act did
not constitute forfeiture. They were
merely placed in the hands of the govern
ment as lands that had been enormously
conveyed by it, and were therefore clearly
public lands.
